Summary

This study compares the usual timing of the 'trigger' shot in IVF with a 1-2 day delay. Researchers want to see if waiting longer leads to more high-quality embryos and higher live birth rates. About 834 women undergoing their first or second IVF cycle will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If delaying the trigger improves outcomes, it could help couples undergoing IVF get more high-quality embryos and higher live birth rates.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study comparing two timing strategies, not a new drug or treatment. The benefit of a delay is unproven, and individual results may vary.
